Operatives of the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group of the Philippine National Police (PNP-IMEG) arrested on Wednesday, June 15, a former police sergeant who was tagged in various criminal activities, including a homicide case in 2008, during a follow-up operation in Taytay, Rizal.
PNP-IMEG Director Brig. Gen. Samuel Nacion said an additional case will be slapped against former Police Staff Sgt. Luis Jomok III after he tried to bribe the arresting officers P2 million in exchange for his release.
Jomok was demoted three times before for his involvement in various illegal activities. He was later dismissed from the service.
Nacion was tagged as the gunman in the killing of a certain Billy Lozada in Pasay City in August 2008. An arrest warrant was issued against him in September last year.
"Despite the fact that nine months have passed, the suspect continues to enjoy his freedom and indulged in the unlawful sale of nearly expired food," said Nacion.
Nacion said they first obtained information about the whereabouts of Jomok in June 3 wherein he was spotted in Barangay Dolores in Taytay town. It was there where he was arrested on Wednesday.
Jomok is now detained at the IMEG office at Camp Crame.
